May I ask if PDMS models can be imported into CAESER II?
Thread Content
Dear experts: At present, after receiving a schematic diagram for stress analysis tasks, the relevant team has to manually create CAESAR II models, which is a time-consuming process. The pipeline engineering team mainly uses PDMS and SP3D. Is there any interface software that can enable seamless two-way communication between these tools?
The key is that different versions are distinct from each other
Are versions incompatible? Aren’t most software programs backward compatible?
I have another question: can the PDSoft model be imported directly into C2? We’ve tried it so far and it is possible to transfer the data, but there are many errors when transferring it to C2; the sizes of the elbows and other fittings are incorrect, the pipe dimensions are not accurate, and there are also some errors related to the markings on the elbows. I called the software company; they said it’s not possible to do the conversion. They said it would be possible if a PCF (I think that’s the name) intermediate file could be generated, but I don’t understand how to do that. Is there any plugin that can handle the conversion directly?
